The Nazir Order of the Purple Veil

Blessings and Thanks to our Spiritual Teacher, Founder and Director of Nahziryah Monastic Community, Retreat for Meditation and Wholistic Living, Monastic EcoVillage, The Community of The Purple Lodge – Reverend Nazirmoreh(ABRD)

Rev. Nazirmoreh(All Blessings and Respect Due), founder, director, and spiritual head of Nahziryah Monastic Community,and the Nazir Order of the Purple Veil,(also known as "The Purple People") is our spiritual teacher and guide. Rev. Nazirmoreh(ABRD) teaches that there are many paths--one goal, many names-one Divine Creator. The Nazir community is monastic, abiding by rules, order, and disciplines. The monastery includes men, women, and children. Resident members live a simple, monastic, communal life- we work hard, meditate, study, and strive daily to overcome the lower ego.

At the monastery,the monastic village; Nahziryah Monastic Community, Retreat for Meditation and Wholistic Living, we do organic gardening to help sustain the community's dietary needs (vegan). To support the community and the effort toward consciousness expansion and further spiritual development, we make and sell art crafts, as well as metaphysical/esoteric/spiritual literature of all faiths, recordings, essential and essence oils, incense, and meditation supplies.

Nahziryah Monastic Community sustains itself through its own laborious efforts, except for the occasional donations given by the few who are sympathetic with the Nazir way of life and are willing and able to help, financially and otherwise, to support the service. The Nazir path is for those who hear the call and come to give their All in All... Behold the One in All.
